Damn I hate when I'm having a bad memory day ;( I just had to read back 2 pages to get the context of stuff I've said most of the day, and that was after my wife picked up a conversation that we apparently started this morning that I have no recollection of.

I swear one day she is going to come home with a new car and convince me that I bought it for her and just need to sign the papers.

 

[Tripster]

I'm afraid to stand up for the fear I will have another seizure, fml.

 

[InMyImage]

Sigh...

I had 4 seizures so far...minor and full blown croppy floppies.

Exhausted!

Sucks. I've been there and it is amazing how much they wipe you out afterwards. How long do yours last? Mine are atypical and can go for 30-45 minutes and then I'm ready for a good long nap!

I was told 3-6 minutes, mine are the full fledged fish outta water variants. I personally don't know how long my seizures are, completely unconscious majority of the time.

 

[Sambuca]

wowzers........

all i need is a job in a vape store. then i can buy more tanks! too much juice, all ITC, not enough tanks.

My 75 yr old Mom has been dealing with seizures 2-3 month for 15 yrs. I feel for you Man!

 

[Tripster]

I've completely lost track of time and have no memory from the past 6+ hours roughly, severely confused atm.

I guess my Mom is lucky she losses memory of the 10 to 30 mins but it comes back

I'm pretty close but just the right half of my body. Last one was in my pain management doctors office after he gave me a cortisone shot in my back. The paramedics apparently didn't appreciate it when the office staff asked them to take me out the back and told them to screw off because they were parked out front and headed to the emergency room since I was still seizing when they arrived.

Did my typical wake up in the emergency room thinking what the hell hit me and then realizing it happened again. Fortunately, I mainly present with migraines now, but sometimes I have them 2 to 3 times per week and a couple of years ago I actually counted the days a month that I didn't have one.

 

[Whiskey]

Wow.....Anti seizure meds must help it a little?

 

[Tripster]

Anti-Seizure meds mess me up more...badly.

I use Medicinal Shrubbery but shit out of luck here...

 

[Whiskey]

I lack any knowledge about them, I only know one Phenobarbital because our bullmastiff used to have to take it for those

 

[Sambuca]

Trip and IMI, you guys are making me think of this dude:

i hope it all gets easier for you!

 

[Tripster]

The only way I know I had multiple seizures is from waking up on the floor and memory/time issues plus feeling scared as shit...

 

[Sambuca]

i know someone who mails it!

Don't know about Trip, but they help, but don't eliminate mine. Over the last 4 years I've been on up to 3 at a time and titrating on or off of a new one. Currently I'm down to one, but my alzheimers med also helps with seizures and I use a nasal inhaler for the onset of a migraine which for me is a anecdotally diagnosed as deep brain seizures because seizure meds helps minimize them.

The downside is that they are either hard on your kidney's or hard on your liver. The ones I was taking up until a few years ago were hard on my liver and I ended up going to the emergency room thinking I was having a heart attack but all the tests came back negative. The next likely culprit was gas, but the meds that they give you for that didn't help so they did an ultrasound and my liver was enlarged and was compressing an artery and generating the same symptoms as a heart attack. Fortunately that hasn't happened again, because man was that a scary and painful night.

 

[Whiskey]

Does something in particular set them off?

 

[cherrycakes]

Called my obgyn to make an appointment and they had to put me on a damned waiting list. I sure hope my cysts don't rupture while I'm still waiting...

 

[Tripster]

Majority of the meds cause me to have seizures and makes me breakout in hives/overheat, I don't take big pharma meds and can't anymore...aspirin will flare me up.

Sorry, I remember him from some old commercial but don't know his name or character so I'm not sure of the background.

 

[Tripster]

Majority of my seizures are spontaneous without any known triggers.

 

[cherrycakes]

Grrrrrrrrrrrr

It's ridiculous I've had to wait two months for an appointment before, are they all out playing golf??

 

[InMyImage]

Not really for me, but looking at miniblinds isn't something I enjoy and catching repetitive movements or spining objects in my peripheral vision is bad. Flashing lights and picutures are bad too. Sometimes people post animated gifs here that make me feel like crap so I scroll quickly when I see stuff flash.

That's the crying Indian dude who hates it when u litter

 

[Whiskey]

Is it possible to request a 2nd opinion? New doctor?

 

[Tripster]

Goin to try and lay down onnmy bed...spacing outand aurora/halo/floaters are coming on hard.

Are you in an HMO? If so, you might want to talk to your hubby about whether you guys can afford to switch to a PPO plan since open enrollments are starting soon.
Medical practices love PPO's because they can actually bill for charges as they are incurred. In HMO's the medical group you bind to get a lump sum for you regardless of how much they treat you or what treatments and procedures you need, including sending you out for specialists.
If you ever hear that your procedure has to be approved by a review board other than your insurance company it means that you are in an HMO type plan even if it isn't called that in your state.

he's just know as the crying Indian. always think of him when i tear up. (it was a commercial about littering)

Yea, those types of things I have heard about from a few others that I know.

Feel better soon trip.

Yea but to get a new doctor I'd have to wait another two months for an appointment. I'm on obgyn #3 now lol

 

[Sambuca]

and taking the secretaries out to lunch. not a big fan of doctors, except my last cardiologist was pretty good.

Not if you get a refural and the refurring doctor can tell another that your case needs to move faster because of your cysts

 

[Roger Schaeffer]

Maybe move to Minnesota Good health care system I called the psychologist I used to see Yesterday and got a appointment for Tuesday morn. Could have got in earlier but want a appointment on my weekday off

Take care, Buddy

 

[cherrycakes]

Honestly it'd be easier/faster to just go to the ER. All I need is a ultrasound

 

[cherrycakes]

I can get an emergency obgyn appointment but they always stick me with this moron

 

[cherrycakes]

Gotta wait for the regular guy.

 

[Sambuca]

Honestly it'd be easier/faster to just go to the ER. All I need is a ultrasound

can't you just go to the ER, then get it approved?

 

[cherrycakes]

Yea if I have to

 

[Sambuca]

Yea if I have to

you should just do that. if they ever bug you about, just tell them the truth.

The computer I built about 7 years ago is a bit long in the tooth. The only things that are NOT getting replaced is the case (Liquid cooled full tower), the power supply, and the ifitisrounditwillreadit drive.
